๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ Space Design


The environments we spend our time in shape what we feel, what we think, how we connect. Our places should be supportive of the lives we'd like to lead.

I work with people in homes, offices and common spaces to understand the ways they move and to create beautiful spaces that make them feel fantastic.

Kamile:

"Working with James fundamentally improved our sleep quality through what turned out to be surprisingly high-leverage environmental modifications. After my husband mentioned our bedroom "not being cozy" as a potential factor in our poor sleep, I invited James (whom I'd met at a recent party) to our house for a consultation.

James's approach combines careful observation with precise intervention. He assessed our space, listened to our desired outcomes, and proposed targeted changes: specific bedding materials and colors, curtains, and optimizing lighting for different parts of the day. The suggested modifications were simple but demonstrated a deep understanding of how the environment affected us.

Hiring James was one of the best investments I've made this year- minimal effort yielded substantial improvements in our sleep metrics. James even handled the curtain installation, which was particularly valuable given my lousy DIY skills.

His methodology seems to stem from an intuitive understanding of how physical spaces influence human experience, coupled with the ability to translate that understanding into actionable changes. We're already planning to ask for his expertise again for our new apartment to make sure our new space supports our life as best as it can :)"
